To show that the sequences defined by \( a_n = 3 + 4n \) and \( a_n = 9 - 5n \) form an arithmetic progression (AP), we will follow these steps: ### Part (i): \( a_n = 3 + 4n \) 1. **Find the first four terms**: - \( a_1 = 3 + 4 \times 1 = 3 + 4 = 7 \) - \( a_2 = 3 + 4 \times 2 = 3 + 8 = 11 \) - \( a_3 = 3 + 4 \times 3 = 3 + 12 = 15 \) ...
